When we contracted with iFactory to help with the redesign of our website in 2011, we specifically requested that Pete be assigned to our account. That is because of the terrific work he had produced for one of our sister companies. What impressed me most about Pete is that he takes a sincere interest in his client and spends time asking questions and probing in order to fully appreciate the desires and needs of the client. He then took that input and, in a relatively short timeframe, provided us with a comprehensive set of recommendations that included recommended background readings and support materials. I was pleased that he recommended that we develop personas for our users, which really led us toward a user-centered design. Pete goes beyond merely filling this client's order by offering strategic recommendations that challenge clients to stretch outside their comfort zones to carefully define desired outcomes. To his credit, he did this in a non-threatening and engaging manner. I would not hesitate to hire Pete for future digital projects.", and "Any client in a leadership position seeking a highly focused, web-based identity for their firm would be lucky to sit down and have a conversation with Pete Gaioni. Few professionals have the quick diagnostic skills and inquiry-based approach that characterize Pete. He listened closely to our positioning, knew the competition, asked a series of spot-on questions to quickly distinguish our business, and finally linked these elements to customer experience and our goals for the project. Pete's questions are sometimes hard and challenging. But, he leads you to a solution in such a collaborative, intelligent way, that you feel you really have an empathetic partner on your side. In the end, we eliminated what we thought we wanted, and our outcome had much more focus. Everything had rationale. All this was done with a minimum of fuss or noise; this is simply one of the smartest guys in the business. Highly personable and informal too. Unreserved recommendation. You want Pete on your side navigating you and your team through what you need, and why."
